Quad-Lock Ties
Quad-Lock Ties secure the Quad-Lock Panels to
form the cavity for the concrete. Quad-Lock Ties:
• Connect the panels in 4 ways: transversely,
vertically, at butt joints, and along horizontal
seams.
• Serve as an attachment point for bracing and
finish materials.
• Serve as a locator for reinforcing steel using
the ties’ molded rebar chairs.
• Help to secure corners, T-Walls, etc.
• Molded water stop assures no migration of
water along ties
PRODUCT MANUAL
Figure 7: Quad-Lock Standard Ties
Ties are placed at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical joints of all panels and every 12" [305mm] in-between,
which are marked by the deeper, wider grooves in the panels.
The ties are placed to align every 12" [305mm] vertically and horizontally in every wall.
Two Quad-Lock Panels and four Quad-Lock Ties form one Unit. The ties are recessed from the outside surface of the
panels to prevent thermal bridging and the telegraphing of dissimilar materials when finishing with stucco.
Figure 8: Quad-Lock Unit - R-30 [U-0.20]
Ties are available in five different standard lengths and are color-coded for easy identification. Using ties of different
lengths, five different wall widths are available and can be combined with Extender Ties to add 12" [305mm] to any
standard tie length. Multiple Extender Ties can be joined to make wider cavities.
Quad-Lock Ties are molded of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Polypropylene (PP).
